GAMSAT 2023 / 2024 entry discussions megathread

What are everyones favourite (and least favourite) GAMSAT revision resources?

I tried searching through past discussions, including past years, but couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

Recommendations can be either free or paid, I'm just looking to see which ones people thought were the most useful & worthwhile.

This list of resources I've seen around include:
- Official ACER resources
- Gold standard books
- Des O'Neil books
- GradMed
- Griffiths Gamsat Review
- AceGAMSAT
- A level CGP revision guides
- Khan academy
- Crash course
- Barry's tutoring webinars
- The Guru method
- Fraser
- ANY OTHERS???

Hey everyone - I happily managed to score okay in my GAMSAT and secure a place in med school. As such I’d like to give away (for free) the materials I used to prepare to someone else who is applying. I have a number of books recommended for section two as well as general advice on interview prep etc (see photo below).
I also have lots of materials from a prep course, textbooks and practice papers, which I think would be really useful.

DM me if you’re interested! Would ideally love to send the whole set to one person to save me postage.

Mods - sorry if against the rules, hopefully okay as not selling these…

Hi, Are these still available as I am planning on re doing my Gamsat again (3rd time) this September and hoping for 2023 entry after fingers crossed.

How is everyone preparing for the GAMSAT? What are some effective ways to prepare for this?

I did mine last September and got 76. Familiarise yourself with the format of the exam by looking at the official papers. Then do as many practise questions as you can from a range of sources. There is quite a lot of free stuff out there and you can find cheap resources on gumtree/ebay as well. For S2, come up with a format for the 2 essays and practise writing as many essays as you can in 30mins. Having that "idea bank" makes it so much easier to come up with ideas for the real thing. For S3, gold standard have youtube videos going through the official papers. They are incredibly useful in understanding how to approach different types of questions.

Well done you did so well! Also thank you so much for getting back to me! How long would you say you spent on Gamsat prep?

Thank you! I started in march and did an hour a day on most days. I did skip quite apt of days due to other commitments and just not feeling up to it! I work full-time so I wanted to start early so I could do little bits that would add up over the months. I didn't get into a GAMSAT uni though, so feels like a bit of a waste now!

Can I ask why you didn’t get the place?

So would this reduce my chances of being offered a place? Uni would wait to see my GAMSAT results before deciding on my application right?
